A friend gave me a Parker Hale 98 that someone had chambered in .300 dakota. I would like to replace the extractor and rebarrel it to something in the 30-06 family. Am I going to have any problems with the bolt face being oversized? | ||

Yes You would need a new bolt and the rails might be opened up too much to feed the smaller 06 case now. | |||

If you could post a good photo of the rails we could tell you if they have been opened or not. ![]() Doug Humbarger NRA Life member Tonkin Gulf Yacht Club 72'73. Yankee Station Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo. | |||

assuming it was done correctly to 300 dak, you can probably go 300 winmag without much trouble, other than a REBARREL... you probably won't, cost effectively, be able to go back to 30-06 opinions vary band of bubbas and STC hunting Club Information on Ammoguide about the416AR, 458AR, 470AR, 500AR What is an AR round?
